The incident of a section of Jews accepting Islam: The Rabbi then said, "Oh follower of Muhammad (sallalahu alayhi wassalam). For the sake of your Prophet please stand up in your place. If you can remove our doubt about Islam then we shall accept Islam, but if you can't, then we shall kill you." On hearing this, Hadhrat Bayazid rahmatullah alayhi stood up and gave permission for them to question him. Rabbi: What is one and not two? Hadhrat Bayazid: Allah. Rabbi: What is two and not three? Hadhrat Bayazid: Night and day. [Qur'aan chapter 17 verse 12: "And we made night and day two examples."] Rabbi: What is three and not four? Hadhrat Bayazid: The Throne, Chair, and the Pen of Allah. Rabbi: What is four and not five? Hadhrat Bayazid: The Torah, Bible, Psalms, and the Qur'aan. Rabbi: What is five and not six? Hadhrat Bayazid: The five compulsory Prayers. Rabbi: What is six and not seven? Hadhrat Bayazid: The six days in which the Earth, the sky, and whatever is in between them was created. [Qur'aan chapter 50 verse 38: "And we created the Sky and the Earth and whatever is between them in six days"] Rabbi: What is seven and not eight? Hadhrat Bayazid: The seven skies. [Qur'aan chapter 67 verse 3, "Who created the seven skies layer upon layer!"] Rabbi: What is eight and not nine? Hadhrat Bayazid: The bearers of the throne of Allah. [Quraan chapter 69 verse 17: "And they will lift their Lord's throne on themselves on that day, eight persons. "] Rabbi: What is nine and not ten? Hadhrat Bayazid: The villagers of Hadhrat Salih peace be upon him in which the mischief mongers lived. [Qur'aan chapter 27 Verse 48: "And in that city there were nine persons who created mischief on the Earth, and they didn't amend. "] Rabbi: What is ten and not eleven? Hadhrat Bayazid: The person who performs a minor pilgrimage along with the major one and doesn't have the capacity to sacrifice an animal, he has to keep ten fasts. [Qur'aan chapter 2 verse 196: "So keep the three Haj days and seven fasts when you return".] HE ASK MORE QUESTIONS? THE LAST ONE IS ; Rabbi: What is that thing which Allah sent revelation on, but it was not human, Jinn or Angel? Hadhrat Bayazid: The honey bee. [Qur'aan chapter 16 verse 68: "And your lord gave order to the honey bee."] After this the Rabbi couldn't ask any more questions and became quiet. Hadhrat Bayazid rahmatullah alayhi said, "Now you give me the answer to my one question. What is the key to paradise?“ The Rabbi replied, "If I give the answer to this question, this gathering will kill me." The gathering shouted in one voice "We shall not do anything. Now tell us the true answer!“ The Rabbi then said, "Listen! The key to paradise is: There is no God worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad peace be upon him is His Messenger!" On hearing this the whole gathering accepted Islam and Hadhrat Bayazid rahmatullah alayhi returned giving thanks to Allah.
